Every race at Sligo in the OddsLens results database from 4 May 2025 to 19 August 2026: 37 flat races and 75 jumps races, 1,215 runners at official starting price. What the numbers say, recomputed every week and never edited by hand.
Across 75 races the favourite won 30.5% of the time (25 of 82 bets, joint favourites counted separately) and £1 on every one lost 1.0p in the pound. The same bet at every UK and Irish course over jumps over the same window won 35.2% and lost 10.3p in the pound. Favourites here lose less than the national picture.
16 handicaps with 14 or more runners, an average field of 15.4. The winner's average starting price was about 8/1; 4 winners came in at 10/1 or bigger and 2 at 20/1 or bigger. Favourites won 4 of 19 and £1 on each lost 7.5p in the pound — on a small sample.
Trainers and jockeys with at least 15 runners and four winners here in the window. Strike rate is wins over runs; the return is £1 on every runner at SP. Thirty runs is a small sample, and the yards with the best strike rates are usually the yards with the best horses everywhere.

That makes Sligo one of the model's weaker tracks so far; every one of those calls, and every call to come, sits on the public record, wins and losses alike.
Method. Every settled race at Sligo in the OddsLens results database from 4 May 2025 to 19 August 2026 (official returns, starting price, non-runners excluded). "Favourite" means the shortest starting price in the race; joint favourites are each backed for £1. Ground is the official going for the meeting: soft, heavy and their variants against everything else. The draw study uses flat races with at least eight drawn runners, in two bands (five to six and a half furlongs; seven furlongs to a mile and half a furlong), each field split into thirds by stall number. Big handicaps are races with "handicap" in the title and 14 or more runners at SP. The OddsLens record is the public ledger only (no shadow models), settled calls, at the prices logged before the off. Sections with too few races to say anything true are left out. Recomputed weekly; this page was built on 10 September 2026.
